About this app

Do what the Grandfather clock would do, tracking time better with 5 mins, 10 mins, quarter-hourly, half-hourly and hourly reminder chimes. You can set different sounds for each time slots such as hourly, half-hourly... so it's more easier to known the time.

The option to speak the current time is also support. Speak out loud the time so you don't need to open your phone, safer while driving.

Support muted time range setting, auto turn off at desired time.

Ratings and reviews

Update Speaking Timer & Voice Stopwatch Watch app much better app. I installed the app, open the app, and that's all the farther I can get. There is a full page ad and I can't get past the ad to the app. I'm a three decade computer developer. I know how to 'x' out of the ad. After restarting the ad a few times, I finally was able to enter the app. First thing you see is a pop-up informing you that there are full page ads and sometimes it does this and you just need to restart the app. Awful!

Works well. Easy to understand and set up. My only issue is that the chimes are not punctual - i.e. they don't always ring exactly on the hour or the clock positions you have it set up for. They can be up to 2 minutes late. Not sure if it's a bug, or just an Android thing. But for me, it's not a big deal. Just a minor annoyance.

Just what I was looking for: I wanted an app that will do a single chime every 15 minutes. Just to make me aware of the passage of time. I did not want an alarm (that would chime repeatedly or require me to interact with the phone) which would break my focus more than necessary. Very happy, too, that it doesn't ask for any permissions. So many apps try to pile on a bunch of needless and suspect permissions.
